Get Ready to Get Your Ham On! Fleetwood Digital Invites You to ComFest 2025!
Picture this: It’s a crisp, autumn Sunday morning. The scent of stale coffee and solder fumes hangs subtly in the air. A faint crackle of static seems to hum in the background. No, you’re not having a flashback to your grandpa’s basement – you’re at the Delta Amateur Radio ComFest, and Fleetwood Digital is ready to electrify your day!
That's right, folks! Mark your calendars, polish your antennas, and start saving those pennies (or, you know, just bring your credit card) because Fleetwood Digital is beaming down to the Delta Amateur Radio ComFest 2025! We're talking Sunday, October 5th, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the glorious South Delta Recreation Center in Tsawwassen. Prepare yourselves!
Why You Can't Afford to Miss This (Unless You Prefer Missing Out on Fun)
The Delta ComFest isn't just any ham radio event. Oh no, it's the longest-running and largest in the lower mainland south of the Fraser. It's where legends are made, deals are struck, and that elusive vintage widget you've been hunting for might just be lurking under a pile of forgotten coax.
And guess who's adding a significant spark to this already charged atmosphere? That's right, us! Fleetwood Digital is setting up our "Pop-Up Shop of Wonders" to bring you the best of the amateur radio world, particularly showcasing the fantastic Retevis line of radios!
Retevis: Not Just a Pretty Face (They've Got Brains Too!)
We're not just bringing boxes, folks. We're bringing an experience! At our Fleetwood Digital booth, you'll be able to:
-
Touch and Feel: Ever wondered what a Retevis radio really feels like in your hand? Is it ergonomic? Does it have that satisfying "clunk" when you press the PTT button? Come on down and get tactile! No more guessing from blurry online photos.
-
Demo Them Like a Pro: Our friendly (and slightly caffeinated) team will be on hand to walk you through the features, answer your burning questions, and maybe even let you push a few buttons. See the menus, hear the audio quality, and discover why Retevis is a name you should know.
-
Instant Gratification (aka Purchase on the Spot!): Found the Retevis radio of your dreams? Or perhaps a new antenna has caught your eye? You won't have to wait! We'll be accepting Cash, Credit, and Debit Cards for immediate purchases. Walk in empty-handed, walk out with a new radio to impress your cat.
Pro-Tip: While we're bringing a fantastic selection, our warehouse holds nearly 400 unique items! If there's a specific Retevis model or any other Fleetwood Digital product you're absolutely dying to see or buy at the show, give us a shout beforehand! A quick email or call can ensure we pack it just for you.
Beyond the Beeps and Boops: What Else to Expect at ComFest!
While our booth will undoubtedly be the gravitational center of the universe (we're only slightly biased), the ComFest offers a whole galaxy of other attractions:
-
The Legendary Swap Meet: A treasure hunter's paradise! Who knows what hidden gems or long-lost radio parts you’ll unearth? Just try not to get into a bidding war over a slightly rusty capacitor.
-
License Exams: Feeling brainy? Ready to upgrade or get your first license? This is your chance! Pass that test and join the ranks of the licensed radio elite.
-
Commercial Vendors & RAC Representative: See what's new, meet the movers and shakers, and get the latest updates from Radio Amateurs of Canada.
-
Consignment Table: Offload your unwanted gear, or snag a deal on someone else’s!
-
The All-Important 50/50 Draw: Because who doesn't love the chance to win some cash and support a great event?
-
Socializing Galore: Connect with old friends, make new ones, and share stories of epic DX contacts (or the time you accidentally melted your soldering iron to the workbench). All over a cup of coffee, naturally.
So, ditch the PJs, grab your handheld, and join us for a day of amateur radio merriment. Fleetwood Digital can't wait to see you there, help you explore the fantastic Retevis line, and chat about all things radio!
When: Sunday, October 5, 2025, 10:00 am to 1:00 pm PDT Where: South Delta Recreation Center, 1720 56 St, Tsawwassen, BC V4L 2B1 What to Bring: Your enthusiasm, your questions, and your wallet!
